titnetopra or another and the force in general Mr job is to head up all investigations drug and morality crimes in possibly the worst crime front the police I don like erriie says Mr Cume a soft spoken Seolsnnn who has been a Christian since I hi age of eight Some times I get so sick and disgusted with it I don tknou vhattovo But then I remember Im a Christian and the Lord has me here in this position for a purpose to help some how The sense of for is funda mental to the Chris liar police officers ap proach lo the job says who became a Christian while on the jot Were not perfect says We slip and fall and go back to the old ways but vc try all that much harder to be better next time And we can look one another for help where before I was a believer there didnt seem anywhere lo turn And that hidden dotroyer police men must be on guard against is no longer a problem a Chnsfan according to Inspector Kent aidlaw You ve Christ there to handle the problems that can t fate alone he says And you are clothed with a sense of dignity us come the fact you can shoulder everything by I a Christian Ite learned to handle personal conflicts drier officers and that been blessing in particular job But though members ure loathe to discuss prejudice against Christian groups within Canada police forces is a problem Many police chiefs and police com mis are reluctant approve religious chapters within their forces says Mr Cur They are afraid of influence peddling that Christians will use their positions to preach to other off icers he says Sgt Rod Galbrallh a Georgetown patrol officer adds that there is some pre against Chris tans in the lower police ranks but not in I ve got friends in other forces who tell me Ihey re teased batted by fellow of in got senior staff officers in our and lhal helps measurably he said In February Wat Christian officers approached Chief Ifardng with the idea or forming a Christian of peace of ficers and he heartily approved of the scheme says Mr Curne They brought me thur idea but there was never any problem accepting it because profess the same teachings we all in he days of Harding And these officers are preaching on a soapbox They are nd disrupting our personnel or our operations Harding sometimes attends the chapter weekly service though he has not seen the lighl I don t have the grace the people have I wish I did he says You describe me as a sometimes Christian Im still sear And Chief Harding adds that would ap prove of other religious chaffers in the Hal Ion force God is not an isolationist he says I would approve of any religious group of of Mohammedans Hindu any religious belief which speaks of love peace to men Aside from each member personal lo others the chapter is involved in public This involves group attendance at annual Christian Peace Of ficer functions and invitations to conduct church services We go the service in full police dress and conduct prayers read bible lessons and preach the message says Mr Afterward we answer questions and we get a lot of those People used to see ing police officers involved in Christian work The chapter holds monthly meetings for fellowship which is crucial lo a Christian lifestyle of combatting sin and attempting to follow a path of faith and discussion of future events such as annual police Christmas banquet and Easter services Since Ihe members live across and in outlying areas group church attendance is impossible so pool and barbeque parties are thrown for officers families Someone always brings a nonChristian officer or friend who is interested in finding out more about us says Mr Weve gotten a good response from a lot of Ihe younger officers on the force But don go looking for a Christian police officer out on the street and expect to see somebody wearing angels wings WearepoliceofficcrssaysMr Our appearance Is no different from Ihe rest Thats whete It counts Hanging on wall in the lobby of Regional Police Head quarters above Canadian Constitution and Ihe Charter of Rights is the official scroll inaugurating he Chapter of Christian Peace Officers Placed above these words of men is the document which speaks of God
